Using v2000 Or FD57231-4 As A Wireless Client or Access
Point with DD-WRT
(borrowed from http://forum.bsr-clan.de/ftopic8732.html)
The Belkin F5D7230-4 v2000/FD57231-4 (with screws not under label) are still not completely functional
with DD-WRT, but it can be used as either a wireless access-point or a wireless client. The reason for this
limitation is due to the fact that the current robo-switch is unable to properly configure the vlan with this
router's implementation of the BCM5325EKQM switch chip. By bypassing the vlan stuff we can get limited
functionality from this router. In order to load DD-WRT micro you must tftp it on to the router. These
instructions are for the v24 build of DD-WRT micro not the multi-language version which seems to have
stripped out the reboot, ls and other shell commands.
A) Belkin F5D7230-4 v2000 as a wireless client.
1) Connect to the router wirelessly
2) Telnet to the router and sign in or use a serial console cable
3) Enter the commands below:
